We would have considered the offer, even virtual only, but they made it clear that it wouldn't convert to an "actual seat".

It is also true that their contact was gauging interest. To be more exact, they were gauging interest in a virtual offer only.

They weren't hiding that the offer was virtual only. I wasted a lot of time with the offer because I assumed like many posters here that they couldn't offer such a thing.

Anyway thanks for the feedback.

I think you need to reveal the school. This is totally not ok.

The school is looking to pad the numbers, get the $$, then not allow the kid in the building!!! Fraud.

OP, if you won't name it, PLEASE still contact the DCPCSB, OSSE, and maybe the media. This school is going to get a ton of money from this (see https://osse.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/osse/publication/attachments/2019-20%20UPSFF%20Payment%20Letter.pdf for per-pupil funding) and some family that accepts it without understanding as well as you did is going to put their kid through two transitions this school year, which really sucks for that child.

This sounds shady as well as confusing. I hope you turned this down.

Two possible explanations:

1. Troll In which case, well played OP!
2. OP misunderstood the "we are calling because we may call you and need an answer immediately", OP got all excited and then the call didn't happen. They are either too dumb to understand what happened or angry and looking to vent.

Either way, this is B.S. and doesn't even pass the smell test.

Was it shining stars? They are missing their enrollment targets and up for renewal

Once you are enrolled, you are enrolled. i would like to see them try to not let you in the building when they return (next year, Next January)

I don’t believe this happened. WTH is a virtual only seat? I think OP is confused.

This. Quite funny how so many on here actually believed OP too.

Was the school offering you a chance to have the child sit in on virtual sessions because they expect a spot to open up and don't want the kid to get too far behind? That would still be illegitimate, but I can't imagine what else a school could be thinking. Once a kid is formally registered, there's no way to limit him or her to virtual only classes once the rest of the school goes back.

Sounds like a bait and switch scheme to drive enrollment at other campuses of this school where there are seats by spamming a campus that has a wait list.

The idiot parade would not have formed as quickly had OP not masterfully made sure to point out it was a charter. That gets the "Charters are Evil" juices flowing super fast to the point where logic and reason cease to exist. I would totally buy OP a cocktail if I knew who they were.
